What studies are currently enrolling patients?
- We are currently recruiting patients for 2 studies. One involves predicting
the earliest onset of diabetic retinopathy and the second involves studying and predicting
diabetic macular edema (DME)
Study 1: Early Diabetic Retinopathy Onset
- Patients who are diabetic with diabetic duration of 8 or more years
- Patients do not have any diabetic retinopathy in one or both eyes
OR
- Patients are not diabetic and are in good general health (These patients serve as controls)
Study 2: Diabetic Macular Edema
- Patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR)
- With or without DME
- Patients at high risk for DME are especially important
General Study Criteria For All Patients
- Between 21 and 65 years of age
- Have less than about 6D of spherical refractive error
- Have NOT had any prior ocular surgery (esp, Diabetic laser treatment)
- Do NOT have proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)
- Do NOT have other ocular or systemic conditions known to affect vision
If you have any questions about the eligibility
of a patient, please contact us or we will determine their eligibility at the patient's
first visit to us.
What do you get?
In return for your referrals, your patients will receive a general eye health
screening. Vision test results and photographs
of the eye can be sent to you. Participants in our
study are paid $25 and reserved parking is provided.
Additionally, we invite you to visit our clinic in person and meet the doctors and
researchers to discuss more of the procedures and answer any questions you might have.
